The Tudor Project is complete




The Tudor Project was a recent job for Bloomington Staging & Design. This home is located in Hyde Park and has great curb appeal. But when left unfurnished, it did not show its best. After being on the market for a while, the owners decided to have the home professionally staged. It was an interesting project because the style of the home, including true Tudor exterior, a large and imposing front door and mass amounts of stained oak. To furnish this home in an old English/Tudor style would have made the home more unapproachable to many buyers.


Since this four bedroom home has all bedrooms on the second floor, chances are that the buyers will be a younger couple. So we furnished this home with fresh and contemporary furniture that had classic lines. We wanted to make this home appealing to the most number of buyers and make this home look as updated as possible.

The photos above are of the family room, which opens into the kitchen. The room has very high ceilings and a tall brick fireplace. Since this was the 'family room', we used furnishings that would appeal to the entire family. It is now kid friendly and at the same time, elegant enough for entertaining friends and co-workers.

Bloomington Staging & Design will be holding a publicity event at this home in the near future. If you are not already on our emailing list for invitations, please let us know by contacting Matthew Cole at matthew@bloomingtonstating.com.
